Streamline Moderne
The sleek geometric lines of many diners were based on the “Art Deco” style. This art form was derived from a modernistic design trend that appeared in France in 1925 and gained in popularity following the release of the expressionistic German sci-fi film “Metropolis” in 1927. Over time a sub-genre developed known as “Streamline Moderne” – this was a design shift that placed emphasis on horizontal lines as seen in this photo.
